Optimistic & Proactive, Illinois Fairs Ready to "Do More in 2024"

With a reported 14-20 inches of snow and wind-chill making the air feel like 20 below freezing, attendance saw a decline of about 10 percent, according to David Hake, the new president of the organization and director of the Washington County Fairgrounds.Still even with the dip, Hake estimated that 100 percent of the organization's 102 member fairs were represented.

Wisdom Rides of America Addresses Production Delays; Company to Introduce 4 new Rides this Fall

  The post-Pandemic years have been tough for manufacturers and suppliers the world over, and Wisdom Rides of America, in the middle of pre-Pandemic expansion into global markets and the amusement park industry, was especially hard hit.  While there were plenty of companies placing orders for equipment, fulfilling those orders in a timely manner posed a challenge in terms of both labor shortages and supply chain interruptions, said Jared Davis of Wisdom.“We can get parts pretty easily for 98% of the jobs but its the last 2% that has posed a challenge for us.  We wind up having projects on the floor that are just about completed but waiting on that one final item”, he said.  Davis said the main culprits were gear boxes, electronics and hydraulics as well as matching issues with parts that have been slightly ...   [read more]

H-2B Labor Relief Starts with the Carnivals Are Real Entertainment Act (CARE Act H.R. 1787)

Labor relief for the carnival industry begins with contacting your member of congress

  Labor shortage is the top challenge faced by the carnival and mobile entertainment industry.  For years, many carnivals and food concessionaires have relied on a mix of domestic workers and temporary foreign labor through the H-2B visa program.  Due to high demands for H-2B visas and an outdated cap, the last few years have been challenging for those in the industry to obtain workers on time, or, at all, making it extremely difficult for carnivals to plan for their upcoming season.  The Outdoor Amusement Business Association and other H-2B advocacy groups have proposed a solution to the problem called the Carnivals Are Real Entertainment Act, otherwise known as the CARE Act (H.R. 1787).   Summary of the CARE Act The Carnivals are Real Entertainment Act – or the CARE Act – helps this unique and threatened industry address the labor shortage issue by correcting and clarifying existing laws that currently exclude mobile entertainment employers ...   [read more]
